v2 Chapter 121: Atletico's Revenge
Zhou Tiancheng is right. Although Kuranyi returned to the team early, he will still have some time before his injury comes back. During these days of team training, he was in the physiotherapy room of La Hota, and even the team's training could not participate normally.
Therefore, when the team boarded the flight to Madrid and played in the Champions League away, Kuranyi could only stay in the training base to continue to recover.
The road trip is a huge challenge. When Zhou Tiancheng and his teammates walked into the Calderon stadium, the fans on the side stand closest to them welcomed them with boos, but Zhou Tiancheng could not hear it at all, because the larger wave was 50,000 spectators Cheers to the home team Atletico Madrid.
Marcel Lef said frankly: "Although Schalke defeated Chelsea in the first round, Atletico's strength is slightly weaker than Chelsea, but this game is definitely not easier than the last one. Atletico must win in this game. Acting head coach Flores will surely inspire the team to fight hard, and it's time to test Magath's strategy skills."
In the first round of the group stage, the biggest upset was that Atletico Madrid were tied 0-0 by Atletico Greeks, and this game was also a fuse, plus the first three rounds of La Liga in the new season, one tie and two losses only scored one point (0: 3 Malaga, 1:1 Atletico Santander, 2:5 Barcelona) The bad start, head coach Abel Recino took the class just four months after taking office, assistant coach Flores acting as head coach.
The Atletico club is also under great pressure because of this toss. Fans and the media have questioned the high-level fire of Aguirre, and let the West B team coach Recino take over.
Despite being in imminent danger, Flores regarded the game as a turning point: "Defeat a strong team like Schalke can help the team quickly restore confidence, even if our opponent is the Bundesliga champion, there are such things at home. Many fans support, I believe the players can do it."
In the team's locker room, Flores encouraged the players: "I know you didn't play in the Champions League last season. The culprit is Schalke 04. Now this opponent is standing in front of you. Gentlemen! Show them!"
"Last time they were scored two, this time I want a hat trick... No, I want to enter four, double the repayment, haha! Don't grab it with me." Uruguay forward Diego Fran clenched his fists.
"I won't give them any chance!" Antonio López, the main left back and captain of the team, promised secretly.
Flores is very satisfied with the current state of the players. He is drawing a tactical board and facing the team's two central defenders Ibanes and Perea: "Pablo, Luis, you two should pay attention to their core This week, the striker is a striker, hold him up, and block him from contacting the players around him!"
"Coach, did you make a mistake. I remember he was a midfielder." The Argentine golden boy Aguero (which should be Aguero, was written as Aguero when he wrote Atletico in the previous section. Asked with Aguero) frowning slightly.
Flores glanced at his official UEFA starting list and nodded: "From the position, he is indeed a forward position because their main forward is injured."
Aguero's expression has two points of sadness, he thought of the scene of one-to-one victory in Zhou Tiancheng's hands last year. From the AFC independent team to Atletico Madrid, his career has never suffered such a big loss one-on-one, originally he thought he finally had the opportunity to revenge. As a result, the two of them faced each other in the two halves today. Under normal circumstances, there should be no chance of direct confrontation. He felt that he had lost a chance to prove that he was the best young player in Europe.
At the opening stage, Atletico took advantage of the first home kick to launch a long pass to Schalke's backcourt. Aguero and Fran are both speedy forwards, Flores 4-4-2 cloth The array is obviously to directly rely on the personal abilities of the two to directly impact Hevedes and Westman. Midfielder double midfielder Raul Garcia and Ignacio Camacho both have decent long-pass ability, Schalke's back line is under great pressure, and Aguero started twice from Hevedes Overtaking formed a semi-single-handed opportunity, and both low-shooting near angles were bravely resolved by Neuer.
"Sergio Aguero, his running position and shooting all reflect the reputation of the European Golden Boy. It is difficult to catch like the wind, God cannot always stand on the German side, Atletico Madrid has a good start, It’s only a matter of time before goals are scored.” Spanish national television commentator Juan Peach seemed very confident.
Aguero has gained more than one space to play forward with speed on the striker line, which shows that Schalke's poor interception in the midfield. Rakitic and Holtby can barely contend on offense, but defensively facing Raúl García and Camacho is still too difficult.
Zhou Tiancheng looked anxiously on the front line and subconsciously wanted to retreat, but at this time he heard a loud voice: "Zhou, go back!"
Zhou Tiancheng turned his head, and rarely saw Magath's face flushed. I didn't know whether it was because he shouted too hard~lightnovelpub.net~ or was anxious.
Zhou Tiancheng hesitated for a few seconds while standing on the spot, and turned to continue moving towards the two central defenders.
"That's right. Zhou Tiancheng must try his best to attract two central defenders. Once he withdraws, although the defensive barrier in the midfield is strengthened, Atletico's entire back line will be all pressed up, and it will be really when it is time. It was a siege at halftime. In that case, the game would be ugly."
In fact, Schalke was beaten so ugly, Duan Xuan said this more euphemistically.
But Zhou Tiancheng didn't take it back. Schalke's defense line was in danger at any time. The two full-backs Antonio Lopez and Peña were capable of inserting assists. The two forwards attracted the two side defenders to the center. Moving closer, leaving space for the two full-backs to insert and upload, Atletico's entire offensive system was fully activated.
Atletico's continuous pressure is like putting the pressure to the extreme. When the spring of the Schalke line pops out and has not been retracted, the opponent seizes the opportunity. Aguero threw away left-back Bolton in the penalty area and cut into the penalty area to shoot at a small angle. Neuer fell quickly, but only half of the palm touched the ball, which could not prevent the line from flying into the net.
"GOOOOOOAL!!!" Juan Peach screamed on the commentary, "Aguero! Light and windy running position, this time God opened a goal goal! Haha, this is right, This is Calderon, our home court! The Schalke will not have any chance of winning here for the second time."
The score lags behind, and Rakitic is the most angry in the heart. It was Garcia's pass that hit his leg and changed the line before it fell to Aguero's foot and became a goal. Not waiting for Westman to speak, he clapped his hands hard: "Go up! Go up! Pass Zhou, we have to attack!"
